Asbestos Information

According to the HSE…

Asbestos fibres are present in the environment in Great Britain so people are exposed to very low levels of fibres. However, a key factor in the risk of developing an asbestos-related disease is the total number of fibres breathed in. Working on or near damaged asbestos-containing materials or breathing in high levels of asbestos fibres, which may be many hundreds of times that of environmental levels could increase your chances of getting an asbestos-related disease.

Over 4000 people each year die of asbestos exposure. That is more deaths than in traffic accidents.

That is why we focus on safety at all times.
